Ptolemy XIV (Greek: Πτολεμαῖος, "Ptolemaĩos", who lived 60 BC/59 BC–44 BC and reigned 47 BC–44 BC), was a son of
Ptolemy XII of Egypt and one of the last members of thePtolemaic dynasty ofEgypt . Following the death of his older brotherPtolemy XIII of Egypt onJanuary 13 , 47 BC, he was proclaimedPharaoh and co-ruler by their older sister and remaining Pharaoh,Cleopatra VII of Egypt . Cleopatra also married her new co-ruler but continued to act as lover ofRoman dictator Julius Caesar . Ptolemy is considered to have reigned in name only, with Cleopatra keeping actual authority to herself. OnMarch 15 , 44 BC Caesar was murdered inRome by a group of conspirators whose most notable members wereMarcus Junius Brutus andGaius Cassius Longinus . Ptolemy soon followed him in death. An inscription mentioning him as alive was dated atJuly 26 , 44 BC. It has been assumed but remains uncertain that Cleopatra poisoned her co-ruler to replace him withPtolemy XV Caesarion , her son by Caesar who was proclaimed co-ruler onSeptember 2 , 44 BC and whom his mother intended to support as successor of his father.External links
